Yes... The question is why??!...

De Gea, Pickford, Henderson, etc, would look quite bad behind a defensive set up of Zouma, Rudiger, Christensen, etc...

Just imagine how many goals Ederson and Alison would concede for City and Liverpool respectively, without human fortresses like Van Dijk, Fabinho, Laporte, and Walker... Think about it!!!

People give Oblak so much credit, without considering the defensive set up of Atl. Madrid, from the midfield to the almost impregnable back line!!!

You think Courtois is far better than Kepa and De Gea??! Lol... You guys don't understand.
Goalkeepers are look better when they have a formidable defence but you know their true quality when that defence line is breached, you know how many times Allison, Ederson, Courtois, oblak, Neuer and even De Gea of pre2017 save their teams when their defence gets broken down? Kepa makes mistakes far too much to be a GK for a top 4 side. All top keepers make mistakes too but not at the same rate he does

Kepa is going through a lot at this time. What he needs is for his club & manager to embrace him and give him some confidence, not another GK that will relegate him to the bench. They really want to break that guy. The most expensive GK in the world, he can't go bad overnight.

How old was Buffon when Juve bought him and made him the then most expensive goalkeeper in the world?

Why Buffon no flop ?

How much was Karius that e become a flop ?

It’s not about the money it’s about the ability and mental composure. Kepa doesn’t have that , neither does he have the right character ... I recall the news on him refusing to leave the pitch when it was nearing penalties. When Netherlands did same during the World Cup and the sub keeper came on to become the hero during penalties .

Since I read that news on him refusing to be subbed for the shoot out and Chelsea going on to loose the penalty shoot out I didn’t rate him.

Kepa Arrizabalaga is a goner.

Sadio Mané really finished off his career as a Chelsea goalie last Sunday.

You Chelsea fans are not being honest with yourselves... Same with United!!!

I have asked this question over and over again... Will Kepa or De Gea be as shambolic if standing behind the defensive set up of Liverpool, Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, and Leipzig??!

People who don't know football will come and tell me that Alison is far better than De Gea, or Kepa, without first actually placing both behind the very same set of defenders.

Well, let's see who becomes number one between Mendy and Kepa, and how far or well he performs behind the "new" defense of Chelsea!!!
Honestly have to say I disagree with your points, most of the goals Kepa conceded were outside the box. He's very vulnerable to accurate shots from outside the penalty area, check his stats in all competitions last season, you'll reason with my points.

As bad as Chelsea's defense was last season, Caballero at the age of 37 or 38 saved more accurate shots than Kepa when been called upon.

I don't want to sound harsh but no keeper in top clubs in Europe concedes goals like Kepa. His saves to shot ratio is horrible.
What he needs is a healthy competition, he might gain some confidence afterwards.

we have had enough. . . Haven't we??
Since last season. . . Same thing. . Embrace him, give him confidence, this that.

He cost us so many pts . . . And have started from were he stopped last season.

Now with a real competition for the No1 spot. . . It's up to him now to prove everyone wrong.

Or be benched for Good

Okay... Let's hope this is so. Chelsea spent way too much for a mere average keeper.

Maybe, it's a coaching and mentoring issue!!!

OFFICIAL: Chelsea complete the signing of Edouard Mendy from Rennes, with the goalkeeper joining on a five-year deal at a cost of £22 million ($29m).

The Senegalese international has penned a five-year deal at Stamford Bridge and will compete with Kepa Arrizabalaga and Willy Caballero for a starting spot between the posts in the season ahead.

After signing his long-term contract with the Blues, Mendy said: ‘I am so excited to be joining Chelsea. It’s a dream for me to be a part of this exciting squad and to work with Frank Lampard and all of his coaching staff. I look forward to meeting my team-mates and can’t wait to get started.’

On signing Mendy, Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia said: ‘As soon as Petr Cech and our technical team identified Edouard as the most suitable goalkeeper to complement our existing group, there was only one player we wanted to bring in. Edouard arrives following a season of real success with Rennes, he is ambitious for more, and we welcome him to our club.’

Do you think ederson moraes, oblak and alisson becker earned the right to be world class goal keepers because of their teams backline, I think it's you who needs understanding.

A world class goal keeper is termed world class due to his efforts when the defense has been breached, check alisson back then in Roma 2017/2018, jurgen klopp couldn't take his eyes off him, klopp even said if he had known alisson had this much quality, he would signed him sooner.

kepa's problem is psychological.

so did De gea. he was bad since his girlfriend threatened to leave him

FRANCE easily gives Citizenship to the natives of their former colony as in this case African colonies.

Edourd Mendes is originally form Senegal by birth but he is now a french citizen living in France and playing football to earn a living..

But this is not with the case of a Nigerian footballer that is based in Nigeria or happens to ferry or fly himself to the United Kingdom.

The British makes it difficult for Nigerians to get their citizenship.

Bros no be lie... I Wish it were the French that colonize us

I dont think you have been watching Chelsea's games.

Its not about the fact that Kepa is bad. Kepa is a great Keeper. We see that in all the games he plays for Chelsea. We see his quality clean through.

Where Kepa receives the knocks is where he lets one through by his own error. It is either poor decision making...coming out for a ball when standing firm would have been a better choice. Or a complete lack of awareness of his immediate environment. It was there for much of last season and by analysis a significant number of goals conceded were goals that should not have been. You could say his performance, though not singularly enough, had a major impact on the outcome of our season.

The difference between Chelsea and the 2 Manchester's is arguably down to a few precious goals conceded. If those goals had been avoided, one could argue that we could have had just enough GFs to trump United to the 3rd spot because we tied for points and perhaps enough points to nudge us into a more competitive position with City and maybe who knows the 2nd spot.

Confidence after how many seasons?
Or is it until he disrespect Lampard like he did sari before we know the boy isnt a professional.

Kepa is leaving or he should kiss his career goodbye.
A GK motivates his players with expensive saves.

How much is your smartphone??

How much do you spend on data every day??

How much do you make from watching Instagram & WhatsApp videos?

How much do you make from typing a long essay on a girl's DM who will probably reply with 'K'?�

How much do you make from watching YouTube?

Well, if your answer is nothing then I think you need to have a re-think.

Let's be Honest, Kepa is very poor. you can't keep churning out terrible performances every match day for 2 years and expect to retain your place in a top club.

Guardiola bought Elderson to replace Bravo, heaven didn't fall. Football is a business, you can't keep pampering an inefficient and incompetent employee especially when they're being paid hugely.

Last season kepa had an atrocious save percentage for a goalkeeper in a top club. A new Goalkeeper coming was just a matter of time.

He can stay and compete like the rest or leave. God knows most Chelsea fans won't miss him.
